You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am experiencing an issue where disconnecting a wiimote (bluetooth device) will cause the whole computer to freeze and require a hard restart. There are a couple scenarios that will cause the issue to occur:
1 - use any program that allows connecting a wiimote to the computer. finish using that program and disconnect the wiimote. start vmware workstation. my computer freezes. 2 - start vmware workstation. start wmgui (available in the package manager). connect a wiimote with wmgui. when i go to disconnect the wiimote, the computer will freeze. I have tried several programs that connect to the wiimote and any of them will lead to the same issue upon disconnect. But the freeze will only happen if vmware is running, or if i start vmware without first restarting the computer. Also, I don't believe this to be a vmware bug. I have found similar issues to this online where vmware is not involved. There are likely other programs that would cause the same issue, but I haven't run across one. I did find a similar issue from back in 2007 that involved a bluetooth phone and nautilus (Bug #103365 https://launchpad.net/bugs/103365) that was closed due to lack of information. I found an old report from redhat back in 2003 that had a comment "(the crash happens only if user side processes have been launched, like hcid)". I realize that vmware is not open-source and not supported here, so if If there is some program you would like me to try and reproduce the issue with other than vmware workstation, I will be glad to. Also, I'm not sure how to collect information for this bug. The computer completely locks up. Please let me know if there is a log somewhere that would help diagnose this. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: xorg 1:7.6+7ubuntu7.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.26-generic 3.0.13 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Feb 10 04:33:45 2012 InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-26 (107 days ago) ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug fonts kubuntu oneiric -- Computer completely freezes on bluetooth disconnect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930057 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
